Saving the NE ConfigurationConstructing the NE Objects
As the DAS4 Series IP-DSLAM provides the flexibility to be equipped with various card modules such as ADSL-LC (Line Card) and SHDSL-LC, constructing the NE board type of card module is the first task you need to perform.
Once the card modules to be equipped to the DAS4 Series IP-DSLAM are determined, you need to set the planned type according to their correspondent slot to secure the system operation. For any reason (removed or type error), if the planned type is not the same as the online type detected from the system, the board mismatch alarm message will be reported to AMS LCT and the configured AMS Server..
The NE supports the following functions on a per LC/NC basis.
Ôāü
Planning the card type of a LC slot
To ease the operator to plan the usage of each LC slot in advance, the NE support to configure the planned type of a LC slot. There will be an alarm arise if the planned card type and the actual plug-in card type are different.
Ôāü
RFC 2684 encapsulation method for ADSL line card, either LLC or VCMUX.
Ôāü
‚ÄúService Type Control‚ÄĚ for ADSL line card.
Operator can define the service which allow user to pass, they are ‚ÄúDHCP‚ÄĚ, ‚ÄúPPPoE‚ÄĚ and ‚ÄúStatic IP‚ÄĚ.
Ôāü
VLAN tag pass-through function for ADSL line card
Whenever the VLAN tag pass-through (VTP) is configured as enabled, the LC provides transparent transportation of the VLAN traffic from subscriber interface to network interface without any VLAN tag attachment. The LC will not attach any VLAN tag to the upstream subscriber traffic. In the mean time, the LC will also not replace the existing VLAN tag of the upstream subscriber traffic.On the other hand, in the case that the VTP function is configured as disabled, the LC will attach a VLAN tag to all the traffic from subscriber interface to network interface.
Ôāü
IEEE 802.1Q VLAN forwarding function for ADSL line card and GE ports
The operator can set the xDSL subscriber ports as well as the GE ports to only forward either tagged traffic or untagged traffic. Step 1

SNMP (Simple Network Management Protocol) is an application-layer protocol that facilitates the exchange of management information between a NE and LCT. SNMP enables the administrators to manage the NE by the LCT. In the term of SNMP, the NE plays the role of SNMP agent and the LCT serves as the SNMP server. This section describes how to configure the SNMP on the NE.
Beware of the SNMP community setting, this will affects the communication between the AMS LCT and NE, re-login the AMS LCT if the SNMP community has been modified.Configuring the SNMP Trap Manager
SNMP Trap Manager records the hosts (any SNMP server, like LCT, AMS Server, and so on) to be notified whenever the NE encounters abnormalities. When a trap condition happens to the NE, the NE sends the corresponding SNMP trap message to the hosts (SNMP server) specified in the SNMP Manager IP Address List.
Follow the subsequent procedures to configure the NE‚Äôs SNMP Manager.Step 1

The xDSL profiles enable you to simplify the process to configure the different xDSL loops with the same loop/data connection attributes. For example, you may classify the subscribers to several categories like category of residential customers, category of small office customers, category of enterprise customers and so on. Each category of subscribers is with the same loop/data connection attributes. Different categories are with their specific attributes like the line speed and performance monitoring to secure their particular service quality. Once the profiles are created, you can easily assign the xDSL subscriber with the request xDSL loop attributes.

Downstream Rate (Kbps)
It specifies the maximum allowed downstream net-data rate. The drops drop packets whenever the downstream traffic exceeds the specified rate.Multicast Service Profile
The multicast service profile is a set of TV channel profiles. Once the TV channel profiles are created, you can generate the multicast service profile to bind suitable TV channel profiles. Each multicast service profile is viewed as a service package for the subscriber to book. The operator then applies the booked multicast service profile to the distinct VC-to-VLAN associated with the subscriber. (see Chapter 7).
Whenever the subscriber clicks his remote controller to watch a TV channel transmitted via the ADSL line, the set-top-box sends the corresponding IGMP report packet. The NE will forward IGMP packet if its multicast IP hits the associated multicast service profile. Otherwise, the NE drops the IGMP packet. As a result, the subscriber is restricted to watch the TV programs that he booked.

ÔĀ¨
Queue (Traffic Class) on each uplink trunk GE port
ÔĀ¨
DiffServ Code Point (DSCP) of the IP frame to be forwarded via the uplink trunk GE port.User priority: The IEEE 802.1p user priority is a label carried with the frame that communicates the requested priority to the next hop (bridge, router or end systems). Typically, the user priority is not modified in the intermediate hop. Thus, the user priority has end-to-end significance across bridged LANs.Queue (traffic class): A bridge can be configured so that multiple queues are used to hold frames waiting to be transmitted on a given outbound port, in which case the traffic class is used to determine the relative priority of the queues. Whenever the bridge‚Äôs physical port is configured as strict priority (SP), all waiting frames at a higher traffic class are transmitted before any waiting frames of a lower traffic class. As with access priority, traffic class is assigned by the bridge on the basis of incoming user priority.
Currently, the NE supports 8 traffic classes (queues) on its GE ports with the strict priority (SP) scheduling policy only.Differentiated Service Code Point (DSCP): RFC 2474/2475 defines the DiffServ field, which replaces the Type of Service (ToS) field in the IPv4 header. It facilitates the network devices behind IP-DSLAM to fulfill the end-to-end QoS.Figure 6-60 shows the DiffServ field.Figure 6-60DiffServ Field
The most significant six bits of DiffServ field are called DSCP. The network device classifies packets and marks them with appropriate DSCP value. According to these values, other network devices in the DiffServ domain can make decision for packets behavior and provide the Quality of Service properly.
A network device classify the priorities of traffic with 6 different levels, they are Express Forwarding (EF), Assured Forwarding Class 4 (AF4), Assured Forwarding Class 3 (AF3), Assured Forwarding Class 2 (AF2), Assured Forwarding Class 1 (AF1) and Best Effort (BE). These forwarding classes are represented by the first 3 bits of DSCP as shown in Table 6-45.Moreover, the network device differentiates three drop precedence in AF4~AF1 respectively into last 3 bits of DSCP, they are Low Drop Precedence, Medium Drop Precedence and High Drop Precedence.AMS LCTSoftware Operation Guide68Interface Port ManagementTable 6-45DSCP: DS3~DS5 Bit RepresentationDecimal representation of bits DS5, DS4 and DS3Description
